The Bard at Hogwarts

In magic stories, wizards are a very magical group.

How magical it is, probably because they went to the same school, the same book, and the same professor, but they knew different magics.

A very simple example, Hermione can do it, Harry can't; Harry can do it, Ron can't; and Dumbledore can do it, everyone can't.

Perhaps due to population reasons, wizards never cared about industrialization, and there were only two industries that were truly semi-industrialized, newspapers and candy.

Especially the chocolate frog and Bibi multi-flavor beans are outstanding representatives.

…

In the auditorium.

Ino had already thought about the way out of the film and television mirror more than a month ago, or in other words, the future plan.

Due to current technical problems, it is difficult to achieve real-time broadcast similar to radio and television.

Then the only way is to reduce costs as much as possible and strive to make them consumables rather than luxuries. While keeping prices down, it is best to bundle sales.

Since the chat started, the Weasley twins have tried to stay as quiet as possible and will not actively interrupt the conversation.

However, after hearing about the bundled sales and the objects to be bundled, George couldn't help but interrupt:

"The Daily Prophet would not agree, and with the price of two kats per newspaper, it is impossible to afford the cost of film and television."

"Yes, they will not agree. The Daily Prophet is very complicated inside." Fred nodded with a serious expression.

Regarding the twins' point of view, Ino did not immediately refute it, but changed the subject to another topic.

"We can put the newspapers away first, but we need to start thinking about lowering costs and mass production."

"I happen to have an island in Croatia, but we can discuss this after the summer vacation. Now I really need to eat something."

There is a time for dinner to be served at Hogwarts, and during the chat, the number of people in the Great Hall began to become much thinner.

George and Fred also knew how to measure things. After getting the answers they wanted, they didn't talk too much.

Since it has been agreed during the summer vacation, there is no need to rush now.

…

The days passed by leisurely.

A week before the exam, there was a shooting craze in the castle.

At the same time, the four colleges also had their own mirrors. Although it was just one piece, it still did not dampen their enthusiasm.

However, this enthusiasm was quickly suppressed by the professors.

In fact, it’s normal. If you don’t review well before the final exam, but instead form a new entertainment trend, then this entertainment will definitely have no room for survival.

With the intervention of the professors, the castle once again returned to the usual intense review period.

…

There was impetuousness inside the castle.

Outside the castle, there are trees and lush greenery.

With nothing to do, he visited Hagrid's hut again to avoid the impetuous atmosphere.

In the small room, Ino leaned leisurely on the single sofa.

"Hagrid, are you going to stay at Hogwarts during the summer vacation?"

He was a little curious as to whether Hagrid's current job was mainly a professor or a gamekeeper.

"Yes, staying at Hogwarts!"

Hagrid put the two cans of butterbeer on the table, sat down on the sturdy chair, and explained with a loud voice:

"Although I will stay in the castle, I also have a certain degree of freedom. As long as I make preparations in advance, I can leave for a few days occasionally."

Although he said this, Hagrid never thought about leaving.

Especially after the newly cultivated little devil Acromantula, he couldn't leave, otherwise no one would take care of those little furries.

Ino saw Hagrid's underlying expression, but it was precisely because he saw it that he had to make an explanation for this matter, which would be a beginning and an end.

"Hagrid, if possible, I would like to invite you to be my guest during the summer vacation..."

Before he finished speaking, Hagrid interrupted: "Of course, no problem. I heard you bought a house in Hogsmeade."

"No, no! It's Croatia..." Facing this impatient half-giant, Ino expressed his thoughts concisely.

He planned to move all these little devil Acromantulas to the dragon farm to avoid destroying the balance of the Forbidden Forest.

"Island? Dragon farm? Also raising Acromantulas?"

Hagrid was stunned on the spot. Although his thick beard blocked his expression, the shock in his tone was still difficult to hide.

"That's about it! So, we don't have to be sneaky in the future."

Ino knocked on the table, and a thin layer of frost covered the surface of the two cans of butterbeer on the table.

Then he opened one of the cans and saw the cold butter beer in the mid-summer of June. The cool and refreshing feeling went down his throat and instantly filled his whole body.

"That's great!" Hagrid sighed sincerely after coming back to his senses.

A private island, far away from the mainland of England.

It is truly realized that the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sails are set for a long voyage.

Private property is just that, sacrosanct. Likewise, even if something happens and needs to be reviewed, only the Ministry of Magic in England has the right.

"To be specific, I will write to you during the summer vacation, but you can start preparing now."

Ino said while looking out the window.

After just a short conversation, the originally sunny afternoon suddenly turned dark.

…

Life is like the weather sometimes.

It's sunny, cloudy, and occasionally windy and rainy.

This is the law of nature, no one can escape it, and no one can avoid it.

The last day before leaving school in the third year.

Whether it was Percy, Penelope, or other graduates, they all became sentimental.

Those things that they once didn't care about, they couldn't see enough now.

The door of the library, the moving stairs, the murals in the corridor, the furnishings and decorations in the college common room...

Every place and every corner seemed to hide the shadow of their past, for a full seven years!

...

Similarly, the day before leaving school, Ino was blocked again.

But this time, instead of waiting in the auditorium, the other party came directly to the Slytherin common room.

Percy and Penelope visited as the male and female presidents of the Hogwarts Student Union. The shining badges on each other's chests gave them rights in the castle that were no less than ordinary professors.

In the common room.

Ino looked at the talented man and beautiful woman in front of him, and after a brief thought, he agreed to their request.

"I can only provide you with four videoscopes, four graduation souvenirs for the colleges. This is not a matter of money, and I don't have too much stock at the moment."

Percy and Penelope looked at each other, and in an instant they reached a tacit understanding.

"Thank you! Mr. Swinburne! To be honest, I am very satisfied with four." Percy said seriously.

"It's nothing! Besides, I also understand this sadness." Ino waved his hand.

"But there is a little good news, you can take pictures as much as possible. It is expected that before the summer vacation, you can see videoscope products in Diagon Alley, and it will not be a problem to copy them at that time."

In fact, even if Percy and Penelope did not come, he planned to hold a graduation dinner for Slytherin before tomorrow, and take pictures to commemorate it.

Now that the two of them have come, it has saved a lot of effort.
